Haneda Rakugan

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A woodblock print titled "Haneda Rakugan" by Utagawa Hiroshige. The scene shows a serene landscape with a field of tall blue-green grass or water plants stretching to the horizon. A cluster of dark trees stands in the center, surrounded by water. A small house with a tiled roof sits near the trees. A wooden fence runs along the bottom-left corner. Small birds fly in the air and sit on the water and grass. A flock of larger birds flies in formation to the right. The background features a light-colored sky with clouds and a sunset or sunrise color gradient, transitioning from orange to peach. The horizon line shows distant ships with masts. Japanese characters are written vertically on either side.
